Hey,
I'm back from Thanksgiving break. . . and what a
"break" it was. I mean, I was working throughout the holiday, but I still
managed to break. . . my car. Totaled it actually. About a half hour
away from home. Hit a patch of ice, over corrected, spun a bit, and
slammed into an embankment, driver's side first.
I got lucky, a bump on the head and whiplash (which
is only now going away). The car on the other hand. . . scrap metal and
spare parts:-/
Anyhow, like I said, I'm back at school now, got a
ride with a friend of mine. Visiting Susan may become a BIT of a problem
in the near future, but otherwise I'll manage.
I guess I can chalk it up to being a learning
experience, but an experience I had hoped to avoid, and a very costly one
indeed. What did I learn? Well, lemme see. . .
* It doesn't matter WHAT the roads look like,
they can still be treacherous. There was no snow on the ground at the
time. . . but there WAS black ice (guess who found it).
* The speed limit is a MAXIMUM. I
already knew this, but it was a good reminder.
* Cruise control is for use in good road
conditions ONLY. The fact that I had it engaged at the time only made
things worse. Ironically, I had been forwarded an e-mail about this only a
couple hours before.
* There really are still some decent people
left in the world. I was amazed there were so many people that came out to
help, especially given how sparsely populated the area was and that it was 10:00
PM.

Anywho, I hope the rest of you had a good
thanksgiving.
Dave
